Adaptable Porosity

The architectural design process is essentially affected by many environmental and social factors such as climate, culture, fashion, obligations, values and norms which are varying during time. A building must address these dynamics to prevent the disconnections between what context requires.

The aim was to redesign the towers as to cure the current situations caused by vacancy issues. As taking part in Hyperbody, the aim is to investigate possibilities for solutions from computational methods for design and realization strategies. Adaptable Porosity's theory, an architectural design based on parametric logics, requires a certain level of flexibilities as the essential design parameters varaying in the time and lead into the design alterations. As a result this flexibility should also reflect in the construction phase in order to keep the balance between the building and the ever changing global parameters. Other words, an ever-changing architecture that enters construction process in real-time based on an open-ended parametric design process. This is feasible, when the on-site slight changes in the building are happening continuously, efficiently, environmental-freindly and quickly. That is why we call robots for getting the job. All in all, through an overview design process, it can be stated that, by means of robotic fabrication techniques, several possibilities and flexibilities are gained for such on-site interventions. As the design is synchronized to the robot's performance, we witness an integration between design and construction. Furthermore, high resolutions, possibilities for complex architectural form printings, capabilities of being mobile, quicker and safer fabrication process, are the absolute advantages of presence of robots in the site. It is advantagous to have robotic setups in the sites as a whole intelligent construction system. The design outcomes inform the intelligent system in which the industrial robots interact as construction agents, while they can also be powered by renewable energy resources such as solar energy.
